Have you enjoyed and loved the Elder Scrolls series with  Morrowind, Skyrim, or Oblivion? Strap in, fellow enthusiasts, for a riveting session where we swap stories from the theater's front lines, reflecting on everything from Godzilla's gargantuan showdowns to the haunting yet uneven paths tread by Ghostbusters. We've got anecdotes on movie memorabilia that could make a collector weep with joy, musings over the pacing dilemmas that plague even the best flicks, and a lively debate on whether the world of video games might just hold the key to the Ghostbusters legacy we've been yearning for.Are you ready to embark on a journey through the tangled timeline of the MonsterVerse, Godzilla x Kong, anime, and retro video games, or to navigate the tricky waters of microtransactions in today's gaming landscape? We've got insider info on how the Godzilla and King Kong legends have been woven into an expansive universe, complete with animated series and spin-off graphic novels. Then, we pivot to pull back the curtain on what's become a contentious issue in gaming: microtransactions. We passionately discuss how the digital age has affected our gaming habits, from the beauty of a well-curated digital library to the importance of preserving the classics for future generations.

In this episode, John and Dave talk about one of the most unique and innovative 8 bit gaming consoles of all time - the Vectrex. The Vectrex was a cool video game console that came out in the early 80s. It had a built-in screen that used vector graphics, which looked different from other games at the time. It also had overlays that you could put on the screen to make the games more colourful.  It was one of a kind and still has fans today. John also talks about a potential remake of the Atari 800XL, Atari's 8 bit computer from 1983.

Thematisch beenden wir dieses Mal die Vectrex Wochen. Patrick, Torben, Chris (Malban) & Olli treten zum letzten Mal diese Zeitreise an und sprechen Mal über weitere Hardware und Neuigkeiten für dieses System.

A GCE Vectrex console is turned on, and emits its characteristic buzzing noise as it plays the standard startup tune, followed by the theme for Sean Kelly's Vectrex Multi-cart 3.0.  The buzzing changes frequency and tonality as the CRT displays different content, prior to being turned off. The Vectrex itself is a relatively rare and expensive American "home arcade" console with a vector display (like Asteroids).  It is estimated that fewer than a million of these consoles were made between 1982 and 1984, perhaps only several hundred thousand.  Due to the decision to place the amplifier for the built-in speaker on the power board, early models of the Vectrex made a distinctive buzzing noise due to electrical interference.  Given their age (and the relative fragility of the built-in CRT display), as well as the relative popularity of "no-buzz" modifications to remove the buzzing sound among Vectrex enthusiasts, the Vectrex buzz, rare to begin with, is only getting more rare with each passing year. Recording provided by Julia Jacobi. This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world's biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening. Explore the whole project at https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds

"There were so many intricate, interesting components within the sound of the Vectrex machine. The electronics warming up; the mechanical clicks of the switches; the low bitrate sound chip producing the haunting, aged melodies. "The thing that struck me - as with a lot of my sound exploration - is that there are sounds within the sounds; little clicks, pops, creaks, and drones that have a life all of their own. You don't really hear them, more feel them. They're there and then they're gone. These are the ghosts of the machine. "I broke the original field recording down into a number of individual parts and processed them using granular apps on the iPad and my eurorack modular rig. My go-to instrument is the Make Noise Morphagene; the tactility of using this felt entirely appropriate for exploring and manipulating a sound created by something which was itself very hands-on. The granular processing (especially the Boarderlands app) allowed me to explore the tiny aspects of the sound that might otherwise be missed when you're listening at 'full fidelity'." Composition by Tom Jepson.  This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world's biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening.

Thematisch geht es weiter um die Vectrex, eine “One In All” Konsole die ihrer Zeit wahrscheinlich weit voraus war und Anfang der 80er Jahre erschien. Patrick, Torben, Chris (Malban) & Olli treten erneut diese Zeitreise an.
